Walking into this Saturday's Lancer Productions' The Prize is Right, I wasn't sure what to expect. Was Bob Barker going to enter through the door, smiling as though it was the best day of his life, and possibly soon to be mine? Was the Price is Right theme song going to go off? I had no idea. As I entered ...
In its third year of operation, Rock the Block, an event that characterized many upperclassmen's freshman and sophomore years, is coming back better than ever.

As you got closer, you heard it: a series of low pops coming out of the inflatable course. Inside, people in fiberglass masks hid behind obstacles or ran nimbly between them with the intention to shoot and not get shot. That was Paintball on the Lawn, a warm but not muggy Saturday. A line of people ...

I ...
